How TO CURE SORE THROAT.
One who has tried communicates
the following about curing sore
threats: Let each one of you read
ers buy at any drug store one
ounce of camphorsted oil and five
cents worth of chlorate of potash.
When any soreness appears in the
throat put the potash in hall
tumbler full of water, and with 1t
gargle the throat thoroughly with
the camphorated oil at night be-
fore going to bed, and also pin
around the throat a small strip OF
WOODEN flannel. This is simple,
cheap and sure remedy.
BEEFsTEAK.-Select choice
steaks from three-qnarters OF an
inch to one inch thick trim of all
superhuous fat and bone. Broll
on d wire grldiron, over clear but
not too hot FIRE. Watch Itcarefully,
| to avoid scorching. When Drowned
nicely, remove to platter, season
with pepper, salt, and a pretty
liberal supply OF butter. No def
mite rule can be given as to the
time of cooking steak, individual
tastes differ so widely in regard to
it, some only liking it when well
done, others so rare that the blood
runs out of it.
To MAKE CASTOR OIL PALA-
TABLETOP all the nauseating
agents employed by physicians,
castor oil stands near if not at the
head of list. That this is so I'M
fortunate, for there are few if any
purgatIves which are so eficacious
and are less liable to be followed
| by unpleasant results, such as in
testinal irritation. 1t is not so
very bad when taken in strong
coffee or lemon Juice. In the form
of an emulsion it is far less objec'
tionsble. To prepare 1t, beat up
the dose to be administered with
the white OF an egg, and then add
the Juice of q lemon or sufficient
quantity of strong peppermint
water; by this means the offensive
taste is completely disguised.
FRAMING PICTUREs.-A very
nice inexpensive way of framing
pictures is this; Take a stiff paste
board, lay your picture on it aud
fasten it firmly; allow the paste
board to project around the sides
as wide as you wish your frame to
be. Then take plush or satin
ribbon and doubling the inner
edge of it, run thread around II
to draw it little full and tack II
in place with brass or nlckle plated
furniture tacks or with BIRDS
, Turn the outer edge under Tue
pasteboard aud you will nave .
very pretty picture at a very Ii''l'
cost. The color of the satin OF
plusb. must depend upon the pic
ture and your own taste will be thu
; guide for you to follow
Fog SNOW PUDDING.-Put Z
h.ndful of loaf sugar to boil in
sucar boiler with a gill Of waite
until the syrup becomes a oeer
brown. Warm a small basin, pou
the syrup into it, and keep turning
l The basin round until the inside 1
e completely coated with the syrup
J. which will by that time have set
n Wbisk the whites Of halfa-dozeI
, eggs to a stiff frotb, then pou
them into the prepared basin
il which they should only half FILL
n Tie piece OF paper over the toI
d of the basin, and place 1t in
!, large pan containing a sufliclen
quantity of hot water to float thu
basiu; cover the pan and so place
d 1t on the range as TO keep the waite
4 very hot without actually boiling
Tor this would spoil the pudding
After the lapse of about three
IN t~-,.:s-s of an hour turn out tn,
puuoing on a eish with the carome
y syrup, which will coma 80 ~ ti''
